Basically if I
don´t email within a week then you can start worrying because especially while
I´m here in Ojinaga, at times we don´t if we are going to be anywhere near a
server or if we are in Chihuahua. We always get a chance by Tuesday or
Wednesday, if not on Monday, This may happen again next week because I
will probably have changes (transfers) and if I have these who knows if I´ll
have time. Especially if i get called to a far off area. At
least for now the Mission President and his wife know who Elder Bunch is
now more than before ha ha ha.
Anyway the
family search activity went well and now the members have a firmer grasp on it.
Unfortunately we didn´t get any random people showing up, but we answered
a ton of questions that the members had about their family trees. We got
them all started on genealogy and because of that we gained a good amount of
trust from the members. Now they have asked us to come to their houses to
help them out with their families, kinda like my old calling in the church, ha
ha. The members really liked the banner that we made for the activity and
asked to keep it so that they can use it in the future with events like this or
they can use the blank side and make their own event.
Anyway this week
was pretty normal we basically left all of our none progressing investigators
and now are focusing on our best and more prepared investigators and contacting
a ton. This turned out to be a really good decision for us because one of the
investigators we chose to stay with was having marriage problems and so we
taught him basic marriage relations and now the the husband has decided he
doesn´t want a divorce and the wife is going to stay in mexico with the
husband. This increased the family we were teaching from 3 members to now
6 with the wife and the two kids that stay with her! Two of those kids
came with us to the church Sunday which made the entire ward happy because
usually they only have a primary of 2 kids that are a little older, so we
doubled the primary with our investigators!! The primary president was
very thankful to us ha ha ha.
The other big
thing that happened was that my companion erased all of my photos. Lately we
have been messing with my camera because over that past 2 weeks we have found
about 100 new functions that it has that I had never bothered to try out.
Anyways my camera is in English so he was messing around and accidently hit the
delete all button and deleted 1300 photos from my camera and about 100 videos.
Neither one of us was very happy that night. Luckily there is a photo
shop near us so we quickly ran over there and he said he could recover all the
photos, so we left it there for about 2 days due to the amount of photos
deleted. Luckily I got most of them back, but I did lose all of my
videos. Wierd thing is I never really cared through the entire process.
I think my companion was more distraught than I was hahaha. In the
end I´m glad I didn´t lose 8 months of the first third of my mission
hahaha.
Well that
basically is how my week went here in Ojinaga, getting very tan with the
weather, but having a blast with all the free water and car rides ha ha ha
See y´all next
week!
